Science, Dental and Pharmacy
Science, dental and pharmacy are all underpinned by three main subjects (biology, chemistry and physics) but the career opportunities that evolve out of studying them are huge and may be quite surprising.
Whether you’re looking to start a health-related career or a non-health related career like forensics, studying science is the perfect starting place.
As an Apprentice, you will gain hands-on experience in a supportive team developing knowledge, skills and behaviours that will benefit you throughout your career journey. And let’s not forget that you will also receive an industry recognised qualification.
